Santa and the Reindeer

We have been busy learning lots of interesting facts about reindeer this week. Did you know:
There are more reindeer in Alaska than people?
Reindeer eat lichen from rocks?
They have large feet with four toes to walk on the snow without falling through it?
They can run up to 45 mph?
The children loved learning all about reindeer and wrote very interesting facts.

Today, we were lucky enough to have Santa and his reindeer come to visit us in school. How lucky we are. Now we really and truly are ready for Christmas!
